    Post-Builder gardening underway.

    Lawns are in a right state, after skips, cement, pallets, scaffold boards have compacted them. Weeds arife but Glyphosate liberally applied (5 litres) so expect the beds to be bare ready for prep in the next week.

    The bench is perched in the sunshine, duly occupied.

    "The Archers" seem to be in a right state.
    I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

      More like Eastenders.

      With the compulsory kiddie fiddling instead of the spousal abuse story.

      The BBfeckingC should be up to speed on that given their history.

      Aslo starring the only blind Scottish scooter riding milkmanperson in the country who will be off stabbing the offender shortly.

      That Shula what's she like?

      More crap I don't listen to if I can possibly help it.

      Just emptied the upright Vax and beat the filter on the wall next door.

      Now it sucks so hard I can stick it to the ceiling.

          I've had to sit down for a while coz I'm knackered.

              Still doing stuff for that, but it's not a full-time gig; around thirty hours a month tops

                    One has made it as far as the box room.

                    Feck me there's a lot of junk.

                    And a satellite dish looking out of the window.

                    And too many books.

                    And too many magazines.

                    Not to mention the tools.

                    And the electrical kit.

                    Anyone want a dynamometer ammeter?

                    Lovely mahogany case.

                    8" mirror dial.

                    So that's how it works:

                    Dynamometer Type Instrument Construction and Working MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

                    It also explains the big ventilation holes in the case.

                    There's also a Kelvin milliohm bridge, also in a lovely mahogany case.

                      Ah, back to the good old days...

                      PM: Why didn't you do this before you went away, the user emailed to say they were happy.
                      Me: According to your spreadsheet, you last updated it 2 weeks before you raised the issue and the user hasn't told me they are happy, can you forward me the email
                      ...
                      ...
                      PM: OK, I'll ask the user to send the email.

                      5 minutes later

                      PM: What's the latest on the dev that has nothing to do with you that we outsourced to a 3rd party
                      Me: Have you asked the 3rd party?
                      PM: No, I don't have visibility on what they are doing.
                      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
